Privacy trees in MinneSNOWta - help!?

Privacy trees in MinneSNOWta - help!?

We are looking at buying a house which is in a woodsy neighborhood. The odd part is that the house is kinda close to the road (the other houses are back further).

What kind of trees/shrubs would be the best for my part of the world? Ridiculously hot in summer, frigid in winter. I want trees/shrubs that are going to be great for privacy, but also not 'out of place' when passing by.
